Actually, this link goes to Salon, but I'll give Politico the credit since they sent the Breaking News alert a moment ago.
Meanwhile, since this isn't really a diary, here's some local good news from here in Oakland County, Michigan:
Proposal 1 (Emergency Financial Manager Law) REPEALED!
(For some backstory on the EFM, here's Rachel Maddow giving a breakdown):
Proposals 5 & 6 (2/3 majority taxes / billionaire bridge) defeated!
Mary Bridget McCormack appears to have won a spot on the state Supreme Court!
(You may remember her from this amazing "West Wing Reunion" video posted which went viral on YouTube recently):
Homophobic Troy Mayor Janice Daniels recalled!
(Here's Daniels acting like a complete asshole while supposedly HONORING one of her citizens):
Lisa “V for Vagina!” Brown elected Oakland County Clerk!
(If you don't remember the reference, here's a reminder):
Jim Nash (strong advocate of renewables & strong opponent of fracking) had a surprise win as he was elected Water Resources Commissioner, beating a multi-year GOP incumbent!
And, on a more personal level, here in Bloomfield Hills, Ingrid Day, Howard Baron & Rob Herner won their respective School Board seats, meaning that our long-awaited new High School that I wrote about last spring should finally proceed with construction smoothly without any crazy grandstanding.
